With depression I often find that people have reason to be depressed yet seek to get on with their lives too soon. So I help them to "honor" their depression. At the same time, I do not believe it helpful to wait until the depression is over before coaching a client back to living a satisfying life. My approach in the long run is to help the client return to a satisfying life so that the depression will disappear. Also, with mild depression, physical exercise is often very helpful; it produces endorphins. Exercise with a partner is especially helpful.

Licensened Professional Counselor, Marriage & Family Therapist

Many of us struggle with periods of depression. We may experience a lack of interest in activities that we once enjoyed participating in, have a lack of appetite or sleep or increased appetite or sleep, lack of energy, experience poor concentration, restlessness, irritability, and hopelessness. This is not all bad if these symptoms do not linger on for long periods of time. However, if these periods of sadness last longer than two weeks one is depressed and this is the time when seeking counseling will be helpful.
I help individuals discovers the triggers that cause their depression and teach them healthy coping skills to reduce their symptoms. I help individuals work towards empowerment.

Healing from past wounds, identifying false beliefs developed from childhood/life experiences, and working through the accompanying grief/loss will be the key to finding healing and freedom from depression and discouragement. As we do this, we will also work to replace these hurts and wounds with the truths about who the person was created to be, so that the client finds contentment and joy once again, sometimes despite the circumstances.

Maria Russell, LPC

Most people, at some point in their lives, experience depression. Our lives become overwhelming to the point that even simple, every day tasks seem difficult to overcome. Counseling provides an outlet for people to express their hurts and pain, allows them to gain insight to where their particular cycle of depression stems from and helps them find a light and hope in an otherwise dark world.

Nicole Imbraguglio, Psy.D.

Licensed Psychologist

Some people put off going to therapy for depression because they assume all the therapist will do is just listen (or they have already had a therapist you did just that!). While it is helpful to have someone to be able to talk to about what is bothering you, I am trained to listen for what may be maintaining your depression and will give you tools for you to be able to decrease your depression, with some finding relief within a few sessions. My approach to working with depression involves focusing on the interaction of the body and mind, changing thoughts that are contributing to depression, and exploring how your interactions with others may be affecting your mood.

Gina LaFrazza, Psy.D.

Dr. LaFrazza has extensive experience working with clients who are experiencing varying degrees of depression.

She provides a safe, accepting, and non-judging environment where clients can explore ideas for living a more authentic and satisfying life.

Lisa Cloyd, Ph.D.

Licensed Psychologist

People tend to view depression as the sadness that people experience over the course of a day, a month, or a year. It seems as if you should just "pull yourself up by your bootstraps" to some. Unfortunately, for people experiencing true depression it is not that simple. It can be overwhelming. I will work with you to understand what is causing your depression and creating a plan regarding how best to address it. Different people have different needs and I will work with you to understand YOUR needs.

Tammy Holcomb, LPCS, CEDS, NBCCH

Licensed Professional Counselor

Clients frequently come into therapy trying to determine if their depression is related to a situation or a chemical response. Sometimes, they have felt misunderstood and judged for their emotional response to a situation. I work with clients to help them look at their situation without judgment and to assess what they need in order to improve their mood.

In working with depression I offer ways for you to understand the depression and the contributing factors. Together we identify those life factors that have caused the depression and find healthy ways to resolve it. We then reconstruct the thinking, attributes and behaviors associated with the depression.

We then create manageable coping skills that will allow you to identify the triggers and have a working plan to cope with the depression.

Eve Cribbs, LCSW

Licensed Clinical Social Worker

This is confusing for most people who don't suffer from it. Can't we all relate to feelings of depression?How many of you hear stories of how someone has pulled out of it with their own will power or been given suggestions to take a bath or serve others? If you are struggling with the condition, this can make you feel misunderstood, angry, invalidated and alone. Depression is not anyone's fault. Look in your family tree. Anyone else seem to fighting this? It runs in families because it is about heritable sensitivities in your body, like allergies or cancers. If you struggle with depression, even if it seems to come and go, please get help. There are people who get it and are there for you.

Katherine Cato, M.A., LPC, CEAP

Licensed Professional Counselor

Depression effects both partners in a relationship, not just one of you. If your partner suffers from depression, you may be left thinking "what about me"? Emotional difficulties don't just effect one of you- if one of you suffers from depression, then you both suffer from depression. Counseling can help if you want to:
Learn how to manage the effects of depression or other mood disorders on your relationship.
Learn how to build a relationship that helps mitigate the effects of depression.
Learn how to stop "walking on eggshells" and feeling trapped by your partner's depression.

Nothing can compare with the feeling of just not wanting to do anything. The feeling that there is no hope and no joy in the world for you. Life seems so hard and unrewarding. There is a way that leads to a better and brighter future, and that way is through working on the root causes of depression. Working with me can lead to increasing enthusiasm for life and for all the riches that you so richly deserve and that can be yours. Come to see me and lift the burden you no longer need to carry.,

Depression is the worst. Depressed people feel out of control and hopeless. How can they possibly manage their lives and the stress of everyone else?
Ok let us get down to it. Depressed people are angry, over worked, over everything. The way out is going backwards. I will explain that when I see you.
No one seems to have answers that really help. I have a specialty certification and years of experience helping people who are depressed. I can help you too.

Katherine Good, LPC

Licensed Professional Counselor

Depression is like a deep dark hole and it can leave a person feeling hopeless. This does not need to be the case. There is hope for finding relief from the pain of depression and I have the skills and tools to help. In my years of experience I have found that sometimes a person needs a non-judgmental listener to help them grow. Other times a person needs more specific guidance. I can do both.

Laurie Watson, MA, LMFT, LPC

Depression and anxiety are common mood instability problems rooted in childhood issues. If we feel secure and our feelings are taken into account by our parents, we grow up having a ballast that rights our boat when we encounter the storms of life. But many children were ignored by busy parents or parents filled with their own strife and did not receive the love that was necessary to feel that "tomorrow will be a brighter day." Because of these problems, our moods fluctuate and now our adulthood is diminished.
Therapy can help you develop a new center that is not forever dependent on medications regardless of your genetic disposition. You can feel secure in the world and relationships!

Meredith Stokke, MC, NCC, LPC

Licensed Professional Counselor

I use elements of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT) and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) in my work with clients to treat depression. I have a warm and compassionate approach, and strive to meet each client where he or she is at. I make referrals to psychiatrists who can prescribe medication if needed, and when appropriate; however, I believe that medication is not always necessary to treat depression. I help my clients implement good self-care practices and coping skills that can help to mitigate depressive symptoms.

Dale Hancock, Ph.D.

Dr. Dale Hancock

Often a client presents to me with some level of depression. Sometimes the depression is an inherited condition while sometimes the depression is situational stemming from life events. Depression can be debilitating while others may remain functional as they deal with the issues. Whether depression needs to be managed or overcome it is often helpful to seek a trained counselor to help through the process of healing.

Blake Clemmons, MA, LPCA

Licensed Professional Counselor Associate

My approach to helping those struggling with depression is to offer a supportive environment of acceptance where one feels free to share their pain. I primarily use a Cognitive/Behavioral approach. In this approach I work with my clients to help them learn how to increase activities that have given them joy, such as calling a love one on the phone, going on a walk or bike ride in nature and decrease activities that make depression worse such as substance use or watching too much TV. I also collaborate with my clients to help them identify and challenge their automatic negative thoughts about themselves, and replace those negative thoughts with positive and adaptive thoughts and beliefs.
